Li Hao, a 27-year-old wheelchair fencer, won Team China its first gold medal at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games. Optimistic and dedicated to sports despite losing his right leg at the age of 2, the gold medalist’s life story has touched Chinese netizens, inspiring them to give him the nickname “Sunshine Boy.”
During the match, Li defeated Ukrainian athlete Artem Manko 15-12 in the final competition of the men’s saber (佩剑) individual category A, which marked Li’s first public appearance in Paralympic Games. Li said he had never expected to win top honor, and he would have been satisfied with just entering the semifinals, or even better to win a silver or a bronze.
Behind Li’s light-hearted mentality is the athlete’s hard work and dedication to his sport. Before the Tokyo Paralympics, he was seen spending most of his days preparing for the Games and appeared to be “addictive” during practices. He was described by his roommate Yan Qing as a person with strong self-discipline. “If one of his moves is not up to his standard, then he will repeat practicing it over and over again,” Yan told media.
However, the very serious athlete has a different side outside of practice. In everyday life, Li is an optimistic young man with a cheerful personality who can light up the dull social atmosphere and make people laugh.
After a photo of Li showing a bright smile while holding his medal began making the rounds on social media, Chinese netizens began calling him a “Sunshine Boy,” saying that they hope his optimistic mentality can encourage more disabled people to pursue their dreams. “Even though I’m visually impaired, I’m encouraged by him as he proves that we disabled people are not flawed, but just special, and we are capable too. His performance proves that we can win over the fate, we are capable in coping with life struggles, sometimes even more capable than people who never taste life’s bitterness.” Zhu Jin, a sports fan who is also disabled, told the Global Times.
4. According to paragraph 2, what can we learn about Li Hao
A. Li was unhappy about making it to the semifinals.
B. Li attended the Paralympic Games for the first time.
C. Li was narrowly defeated by his Ukrainian opponent.
D. Li was expected to bring home a silver or bronze medal.
5. What contributes to Sunshine Boy’s winning the championship
A. His ability and addiction B. His self-control and friendliness
C. His determination and charity D. His devotion and positive mindset
6 What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph
A. The disabled find it difficult to fight life challenges alone.
B. It is Li’s bright smile that drives people to chase their dream.
C. Physically challenged people are greatly inspired by Li’s optimism.
D. Men with disability have limited control over life’s bitterness.
7. Where would this passage most probably appear
A. A news website B. A textbook
C A brochure D. A science magazine
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了在2020年东京残奥会上获奖的李浩的相关信息和成就,以及对其他人的影响。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段“During the match, Li defeated Ukrainian athlete Artem Manko 15-12 in the final competition of the men’s saber (佩剑) individual category A, which marked Li’s first public appearance in Paralympic Games. Li said he had never expected to win top honor, and he would have been satisfied with just entering the semifinals, or even better to win a silver or a bronze. (在比赛中,李在男子佩剑个人赛A组决赛中以15-12击败乌克兰运动员阿尔乔姆·曼科,这是李在残奥会的第一次公开亮相。李说,他从来没有想过会赢得最高荣誉,他会满足于进入半决赛,甚至更好,赢得一枚银牌或铜牌。)”可知,李是第一次参加残奥会。故选B。
【5题详解】

(在李轻松愉快的心态背后,是他对运动的努力和付出。)”可知,他的奉献精神和积极心态是阳光男孩赢得冠军的原因。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“After a photo of Li showing a bright smile while holding his medal began making the rounds on social media, Chinese netizens began calling him a “Sunshine Boy,” saying that they hope his optimistic mentality can encourage more disabled people to pursue their dreams. “Even though I’m visually impaired, I’m encouraged by him as he proves that we disabled people are not flawed, but just special, and we are capable too. His performance proves that we can win over the fate, we are capable in coping with life struggles, sometimes even more capable than people who never taste life’s bitterness.” Zhu Jin, a sports fan who is also disabled, told the Global Times. (在一张李拿着奖牌露出灿烂笑容的照片开始在社交媒体上流传后,中国网民开始称他为“阳光男孩”,并表示他们希望他乐观的心态能鼓励更多的残疾人追求梦想。“尽管我有视力障碍,但他证明了我们残疾人没有缺陷,只是很特别,我们也有能力,这让我很受鼓舞。”他的表现证明了我们可以战胜命运,我们有能力应对生活的挣扎,有时甚至比那些从未品尝过生活苦涩的人更有能力。”朱瑾是一名体育爱好者,也是残疾人,他告诉《环球时报》。)”可知,李的乐观精神极大地鼓舞了身体有缺陷的人。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是由文章第一段中“Li Hao, a 27-year-old wheelchair fencer, won Team China its first gold medal at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.

Chewing a sugar-free gum daily reduced premature births in a large study in Malawi, Africa. The new findings were inspired by relevant past research on oral (口腔的) health. The gum contains xylitol (木糖醇)— a chemical that can boost oral health — in place of regular sugar.
Among women who chewed the xylitol gum, 549 out of 4, 349 pregnancies, or 12.6 percent, delivered babies early, researchers reported February 3 at the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine’s Annual Pregnancy Meeting. That’s a 24 percent reduction compared with the group who didn’t receive the gum. Among those women, 878 out of 5, 321 pregnancies, or 16.5 percent, of the babies were born before 37 weeks. The oral health of gum users also improved. About 4,000 of the women had an initial tooth exam and a later checkup. The women who chewed the gum had less tooth disease, a condition in which the tissue surrounding the teeth becomes infected, compared with those who didn’t get the chewing gum.
“The findings are very encouraging,” says Kim Boggess, a medicine specialist at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine. “The researchers are approaching a very complex problem in a low-resource area by trying to use a low-tech, easily applied way. It would take more research to see if this could work in other settings,” she says.
Babies born early can have complications (并发症) that damage their lungs, nerve development and more, with long-term health risks, and they are more likely to die in their first year of life than average babies.
The team also wants to track the nerve development of the children born early and those born on time. “No matter how simple the method may be, we are still glad to make a difference in somebody’s life,” says the team leader Kjersti Aagaard, a medicine specialist at Texas Children’s Hospital, “and digging into the reason why chewing the xylitol gum has such benefits deserves our further commitment.”
8. What is the function of paragraph 2
A. To offer statistics. B. To give examples.
C. To refer to past research. D. To analyze the causes.
9. What is the benefit of chewing a sugar-free gum
A. It can stop teeth from bleeding.
B. It can help oral tissues against infection.
C. It can reduce women’s long-term health risks.
D. It can prevent early-born babies from complications.
10. Why are the findings encouraging according to Kim Boggess
A. They can be universally applied around the world.
B. They solve a complex problem in low-resource areas.
C. They employ modern technology to solve the problem.
D. They provide an easy-to-access way to tackle problems.
11. What is Aagaard’s attitude towards further research on this subject
A. Cautious. B. Disapproving. C. Uninterested. D. Positive.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。在非洲马拉维的一项大型研究中,每天嚼无糖口香糖可以减少早产。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Among women who chewed the xylitol gum, 549 out of 4, 349 pregnancies, or 12.6 percent, delivered babies early(在嚼过木糖醇口香糖的女性中,44349名孕妇中有549名(12.6%)早产)”、“That’s a 24 percent reduction compared with the group who didn’t receive the gum. Among those women, 878 out of 5, 321 pregnancies, or 16.5 percent, of the babies were born before 37 weeks(与不吃口香糖的那组相比,这一数字减少了24%。在这些女性中,50321例妊娠中有878例,即16.5%的婴儿在37周前出生)”以及“About 4,000 of the women had an initial tooth exam and a later checkup.(其中约4000名妇女进行了初步牙齿检查,随后又进行了检查)”可知本段使用数字支持第一段提出的观点,故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The women who chewed the gum had less tooth disease, a condition in which the tissue surrounding the teeth becomes infected, compared with those who didn’t get the chewing gum.(与没有嚼口香糖的女性相比,嚼过口香糖的女性患牙病的几率较小,这种情况下牙齿周围的组织会受到感染。)”可知,嚼无糖口香糖的好处是可以帮助口腔组织抵抗感染,故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The researchers are approaching a very complex problem in a low-resource area by trying to use a low-tech, easily applied way(研究人员正试图用一种低技术、易于应用的方式来解决资源匮乏地区的一个非常复杂的问题。)”可知此项发现提供了一种简单易用的解决问题的方法,故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“No matter how simple the method may be, we are still glad to make a difference in somebody’s life(无论这种方法多么简单,我们仍然很高兴能改变人们的生活)”以及“digging into the reason why chewing the xylitol gum has such benefits deserves our further commitment(深入研究咀嚼木糖醇口香糖有如此好处的原因值得我们进一步努力研究)”可知,Kjersti Aagaard对这一话题的未来研究持赞同的态度,故选D项。
D
Whether you call them feral pigs, boar, swine, hogs, or even razorbacks, wild pigs are one of the most damaging invasive species on Earth, and they’re infamous for damaging agriculture and native wildlife.
A big reason they’re so harmful is that they uproot soil at vast scales, like tractors ploughing a field. Our new research, published recently, is the first to calculate the global extent of this and its effects on carbon emissions.
Our findings were horrible. We discovered the total area of soil uprooted by wild pigs is likely the same area as Switzerland. This releases 4.9 million tonnes of carbon dioxide each year the same as one million cars. The majority of these emissions occur in Oceania. A huge portion of Earth’s carbon is stored in soil, so releasing even a small part of this into the atmosphere can have a huge impact on climate change.
It’s estimated that wild pigs destroy more than US$74 million worth of crops and grass each year in Australia, and more than US $270 million in just 12 states in the USA. Wild pigs have also been found to directly threaten 672 vertebrates (脊椎动物) and plant species across 54 different countries. This includes Australian ground frogs, tree frogs and multiple orchid species which are imperiled, as pigs destroy their habitats and hunt them for food.
Their geographic range is expected to expand in the coming decades, suggesting their threats to food security and biodiversity will likely worsen. But here, let’s focus on their contribution to global emissions.
One such study was conducted for three years in hardwood forests of Switzerland. The researchers found wild pigs caused soil carbon emissions to increase by around 23% per year. Similarly, a study in the Jigong Mountains National Nature Reserve in China found soil emissions increased by more than 70% per year in places disturbed by wild pigs.
12 Why are wild pigs unpopular according to the text
A. For their threat to humans. B. For their damaging effects.
C. For their consuming too much food. D. For their bad effects on tractors.
13. What danger do wild pigs pose by uprooting soil
A. Leading to dry and acid soil.
B. Damaging the source of drinking water.
C. Increasing too much soil carbon emissions.
D. Reducing the area of agricultural land greatly.
14. Which can replace the underlined word “imperiled” in paragraph 4
A. In pain. B. In alarm. C. In chaos. D. In danger.
15. What may be the best title for the text
A. The threat of wild pigs
B. Wild pigs on a global scale
C. A new problem faced by farmers
D. The impact of emissions on climate change
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍野猪给人类带来的危害和威胁。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Whether you call them feral pigs, boar, swine, hogs, or even razorbacks, wild pigs are one of the most damaging invasive species on Earth, and they’re infamous for damaging agriculture and native wildlife. (无论你称它们为野猪、野猪、猪、猪,甚至是剃刀背,野猪都是地球上最具破坏性的入侵物种之一,它们因破坏农业和当地野生动物而臭名昭著。)”可知,野猪不受欢迎是因为它对人类的破坏太严重。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“A big reason they’re so harmful is that they uproot soil at vast scales, like tractors ploughing a field. Our new research, published recently, is the first to calculate the global extent of this and its effects on carbon emissions. (它们如此有害的一个重要原因是,它们会大规模连根拔起土壤,就像拖拉机在犁地一样。我们最近发表的新研究首次计算了这种情况的全球范围及其对碳排放的影响。)”和第三段“Our findings were horrible. We discovered the total area of soil uprooted by wild pigs is likely the same area as Switzerland. This releases 4.9 million tonnes of carbon dioxide each year the same as one million cars. The majority of these emissions occur in Oceania. A huge portion of Earth’s carbon is stored in soil, so releasing even a small part of this into the atmosphere can have a huge impact on climate change. (我们的发现很可怕。我们发现,被野猪连根拔起的土壤总面积可能与瑞士相同。这每年释放490万吨二氧化碳,相当于100万辆汽车。这些排放的大部分发生在大洋洲。地球上很大一部分碳储存在土壤中,因此将其中的一小部分释放到大气中也会对气候变化产生巨大影响。)”可知,野猪连根拔起土壤对碳排放有很大的影响。故选C。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“It’s estimated that wild pigs destroy more than US$74 million worth of crops and grass each year in Australia, and more than US $270 million in just 12 states in the USA. Wild pigs have also been found to directly threaten 672 vertebrates (脊椎动物) and plant species across 54 different countries. This includes Australian ground frogs, tree frogs and multiple orchid species which are imperiled, as pigs destroy their habitats and hunt them for food. (据估计,在澳大利亚,野猪每年破坏价值超过7400万美元的农作物和草地,在美国仅12个州就破坏了超过2.7亿美元。此外,还发现野猪直接威胁着54个不同国家的672种脊椎动物和植物物种。这包括澳大利亚的地蛙、树蛙和多种兰花物种,由于猪破坏了它们的栖息地并猎杀它们作为食物,它们受到了imperiled。)”可知,这一段主要介绍野猪对农作物、草地和其他物种造成的破坏和威胁,使得它们处于危险状态,所以imperiled的意思应该是“处于危险状态”,和选项D意思一致。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Whether you call them feral pigs, boar, swine, hogs, or even razorbacks, wild pigs are one of the most damaging invasive species on Earth, and they’re infamous for damaging agriculture and native wildlife.

前文“The newest devices are all starting to cross the four-digit price range, but that doesn’t mean you need to spend big to get quality.(最新的设备都开始突破四位数的价格范围,但这并不意味着你需要花大价钱才能获得质量。)”讲述了不需要为了获得高质量而花费大价钱,后文“Non-flagship devices for the current year can also offer all of the features you’re looking for and make some savings too.(今年的非旗舰设备也可以提供你想要的所有功能,并节省一些费用。)”讲述了可以选择非旗舰店设备这种省钱的方式,其中的also说明空处讲述的是选择物美价廉设备的一种方法,G项“一两年前的二手设备可以提供你需要的所有功能。”符合题意,选项中的can provide all the features you need和后文的can also offer all of the features you’re looking for想照应。故选G。
【18题详解】
前文“So be clear about what you’ll be using your device for.(所以,要清楚你将使用你的设备做什么。)”讲述了要明白自己的具体需求,后文“That will certainly help cut costs down, especially the big-ticket items that are only aimed towards a certain audience.(这肯定有助于降低成本,尤其是那些只针对特定受众的高价商品。)”讲述了这么做有利于降低购买成本,由此可知,空处应承接上文,讲述确定需求后接下来应该做什么,D项“然后寻找没有某些无用功能的设备。”符合题意,选项中的Then说明这里与前文是顺承关系。故选D。
【19题详解】
根据空处所在位置可知,空处是选设备时应该考虑的内容。根据后文“With rising prices, many of us are holding on to our devices for a longer period of time, but months of updates and file storage can slow devices down, and internal hardware could fall behind in times too.(随着价格的上涨,我们中的许多人都会保留我们的设备更久,但几个月的更新和文件存储可能会减慢设备的速度,内部硬件也可能会落后。)”可知,这里应是讲述选设备时要考虑它的持久性,A项“也要考虑持久性。”符合题意。故选A。
【20题详解】
前文“It can be no small task to find a suitable replacement.(找到一个合适的替代者绝非易事。)”讲述了选择合适的设备并不容易,再结合后文“After all, this is a type of device you’ll be stuck with every day.(毕竟,这是一种你每天都摆脱不掉的设备。)”可知,空处应是说花这些努力是值得的,B项“尽管如此,你的努力还是值得的。”符合题意。故选B。

【37题详解】

【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:但胡教授用一种创新的方法克服了所有的困难,这种方法至今仍在使用。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,先行词method“方法”,指物,且关系词在从句中作主语,应用which引导非限制性定语从句。故填which。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:调查结束后,中国决定进一步加强涉及该物种的生态研究。分析句子结构可知,本句谓语为decided,故本空为非谓语,且research和involve“涉及”是主动关系,应用现在分词involving作后置定语。故填involving。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意:1978年,胡在四川省卧龙国家级自然保护区领导了世界上第一个野外大熊猫生态观察站的建立。根据句意可知,此处特指“世界上第一个野外生态观察站的建立”,应用定冠词the,表示特指。故填the。

After an accident in January, 8-year-old Thomas was badly injured. His dream of winning this year’s inter-school football championship was destroyed overnight.
“It would be at least a year and a half before your son walks again unless there is a miracle,” doctors told Thomas’ single mother, Beth. After knowing this fact one night, Thomas cried sadly on the hospital bed. Beth tried to encourage him. During it, she fished inside her pocket and pulled out the inhaler (吸入器) when suddenly feeling dizzy — Beth had asthma (哮喘), and the inhaler could help her breathe more easily.
In September, after staying in hospital for months, Thomas returned home and had to completely rely on a wheelchair to move around, feeling hopeless. Beth tried to cheer him up.
One afternoon, the mother was near the door reading for Thomas, while the boy was relaxing on the sofa in the living room, listening. Suddenly, Thomas heard a strange loud sound coming from the porch (走廊).
“It’s just... my book fell!” Beth said. But Thomas could tell she was struggling to breathe. It seemed that something was stuck in her throat.
Normally, Thomas’ wheelchair would be right by the sofa, and he could easily roll towards his mother. But earlier that afternoon, while Thomas was asleep, Beth pushed the wheelchair into the yard to let it get some sunshine.
Beth tried to get up for her inhaler put on a shelf inside the room, but she lost her balance and fell onto the floor. When Beth wasn’t able to respond to Thomas’ calling out her name, Thomas realized this was an emergency.
He hurried to take out the phone from his pocket and quickly informed the police of what was happening. Although help was on the way, Thomas knew he couldn’t just sit and wait.
He looked at his mother’s inhaler. It could help save her life, but it was on that shelf seven meters away from him. “I must go there to get it,” he said to himself. Despite knowing his legs probably wouldn’t listen to him, he was determined.

Paragraph 2: After amazingly standing up, Thomas began struggling to walk to that inhaler.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】He held the couch’s seat as tightly as he could, using his weak hands. He knew he had to try, no matter how hard it was. The thought that he would never see his mother was too much for him. He slowly lifted himself up and fell down but he didn’t give up. He was determined to reach the inhaler. After lying on the ground for a second, he gathered all his strength and surprisingly, he was on his feet!
After amazingly standing up, Thomas began struggling to walk to that inhaler. It was difficult but Thomas finally made it to the shelf. He grabbed the inhaler and made his way to his mother. With trembling hands, he put the inhaler in her mouth and dialed for the doctors who arrived just in time to take Beth to the hospital. As he sat in the empty living room, Thomas realized that he had truly become a hero. He had proven that even the weakest of us can be strong when it matters the most.

Li Hao, a 27-year-old wheelchair fencer, won Team China its first gold medal at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games. Optimistic and dedicated to sports despite losing his right leg at the age of 2, the gold medalist’s life story has touched Chinese netizens, inspiring them to give him the nickname “Sunshine Boy.”
During the match, Li defeated Ukrainian athlete Artem Manko 15-12 in the final competition of the men’s saber (佩剑) individual category A, which marked Li’s first public appearance in Paralympic Games. Li said he had never expected to win top honor, and he would have been satisfied with just entering the semifinals, or even better to win a silver or a bronze.
Behind Li’s light-hearted mentality is the athlete’s hard work and dedication to his sport. Before the Tokyo Paralympics, he was seen spending most of his days preparing for the Games and appeared to be “addictive” during practices. He was described by his roommate Yan Qing as a person with strong self-discipline. “If one of his moves is not up to his standard, then he will repeat practicing it over and over again,” Yan told media.
However, the very serious athlete has a different side outside of practice. In everyday life, Li is an optimistic young man with a cheerful personality who can light up the dull social atmosphere and make people laugh.
After a photo of Li showing a bright smile while holding his medal began making the rounds on social media, Chinese netizens began calling him a “Sunshine Boy,” saying that they hope his optimistic mentality can encourage more disabled people to pursue their dreams. “Even though I’m visually impaired, I’m encouraged by him as he proves that we disabled people are not flawed, but just special, and we are capable too. His performance proves that we can win over the fate, we are capable in coping with life struggles, sometimes even more capable than people who never taste life’s bitterness.” Zhu Jin, a sports fan who is also disabled, told the Global Times.
4. According to paragraph 2, what can we learn about Li Hao
A. Li was unhappy about making it to the semifinals.
B. Li attended the Paralympic Games for the first time.
C. Li was narrowly defeated by his Ukrainian opponent.
D. Li was expected to bring home a silver or bronze medal.
5. What contributes to Sunshine Boy’s winning the championship

6 What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph
A. The disabled find it difficult to fight life challenges alone.
B. It is Li’s bright smile that drives people to chase their dream.
C. Physically challenged people are greatly inspired by Li’s optimism.
D. Men with disability have limited control over life’s bitterness.

Chewing a sugar-free gum daily reduced premature births in a large study in Malawi, Africa. The new findings were inspired by relevant past research on oral (口腔的) health. The gum contains xylitol (木糖醇)— a chemical that can boost oral health — in place of regular sugar.
Among women who chewed the xylitol gum, 549 out of 4, 349 pregnancies, or 12.6 percent, delivered babies early, researchers reported February 3 at the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine’s Annual Pregnancy Meeting. That’s a 24 percent reduction compared with the group who didn’t receive the gum. Among those women, 878 out of 5, 321 pregnancies, or 16.5 percent, of the babies were born before 37 weeks. The oral health of gum users also improved. About 4,000 of the women had an initial tooth exam and a later checkup. The women who chewed the gum had less tooth disease, a condition in which the tissue surrounding the teeth becomes infected, compared with those who didn’t get the chewing gum.
“The findings are very encouraging,” says Kim Boggess, a medicine specialist at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine. “The researchers are approaching a very complex problem in a low-resource area by trying to use a low-tech, easily applied way. It would take more research to see if this could work in other settings,” she says.
Babies born early can have complications (并发症) that damage their lungs, nerve development and more, with long-term health risks, and they are more likely to die in their first year of life than average babies.
The team also wants to track the nerve development of the children born early and those born on time. “No matter how simple the method may be, we are still glad to make a difference in somebody’s life,” says the team leader Kjersti Aagaard, a medicine specialist at Texas Children’s Hospital, “and digging into the reason why chewing the xylitol gum has such benefits deserves our further commitment.”
8. What is the function of paragraph 2
A. To offer statistics. B. To give examples.
C. To refer to past research. D. To analyze the causes.
9. What is the benefit of chewing a sugar-free gum
A. It can stop teeth from bleeding.
B. It can help oral tissues against infection.
C. It can reduce women’s long-term health risks.
D. It can prevent early-born babies from complications.
10. Why are the findings encouraging according to Kim Boggess
A. They can be universally applied around the world.
B. They solve a complex problem in low-resource areas.
C. They employ modern technology to solve the problem.
D. They provide an easy-to-access way to tackle problems.
11. What is Aagaard’s attitude towards further research on this subject
A. Cautious. B. Disapproving. C. Uninterested. D. Positive.
D
Whether you call them feral pigs, boar, swine, hogs, or even razorbacks, wild pigs are one of the most damaging invasive species on Earth, and they’re infamous for damaging agriculture and native wildlife.
A big reason they’re so harmful is that they uproot soil at vast scales, like tractors ploughing a field. Our new research, published recently, is the first to calculate the global extent of this and its effects on carbon emissions.
Our findings were horrible. We discovered the total area of soil uprooted by wild pigs is likely the same area as Switzerland. This releases 4.9 million tonnes of carbon dioxide each year the same as one million cars. The majority of these emissions occur in Oceania. A huge portion of Earth’s carbon is stored in soil, so releasing even a small part of this into the atmosphere can have a huge impact on climate change.
It’s estimated that wild pigs destroy more than US$74 million worth of crops and grass each year in Australia, and more than US $270 million in just 12 states in the USA. Wild pigs have also been found to directly threaten 672 vertebrates (脊椎动物) and plant species across 54 different countries. This includes Australian ground frogs, tree frogs and multiple orchid species which are imperiled, as pigs destroy their habitats and hunt them for food.
Their geographic range is expected to expand in the coming decades, suggesting their threats to food security and biodiversity will likely worsen. But here, let’s focus on their contribution to global emissions.
One such study was conducted for three years in hardwood forests of Switzerland. The researchers found wild pigs caused soil carbon emissions to increase by around 23% per year. Similarly, a study in the Jigong Mountains National Nature Reserve in China found soil emissions increased by more than 70% per year in places disturbed by wild pigs.
12. Why are wild pigs unpopular according to the text
A. For their threat to humans. B. For their damaging effects.
C. For their consuming too much food. D. For their bad effects on tractors.
13. What danger do wild pigs pose by uprooting soil
A. Leading to dry and acid soil.
B. Damaging the source of drinking water.
C. Increasing too much soil carbon emissions.
D. Reducing the area of agricultural land greatly.
14. Which can replace the underlined word “imperiled” in paragraph 4
A. In pain. B. In alarm. C. In chaos. D. In danger.
15. What may be the best title for the text
A. The threat of wild pigs
B. Wild pigs on a global scale
C. A new problem faced by farmers
D. The impact of emissions on climate change

After an accident in January, 8-year-old Thomas was badly injured. His dream of winning this year’s inter-school football championship was destroyed overnight.
“It would be at least a year and a half before your son walks again unless there is a miracle,” doctors told Thomas’ single mother, Beth. After knowing this fact one night, Thomas cried sadly on the hospital bed. Beth tried to encourage him. During it, she fished inside her pocket and pulled out the inhaler (吸入器) when suddenly feeling dizzy — Beth had asthma (哮喘), and the inhaler could help her breathe more easily.
In September, after staying in hospital for months, Thomas returned home and had to completely rely on a wheelchair to move around, feeling hopeless. Beth tried to cheer him up.
One afternoon, the mother was near the door reading for Thomas, while the boy was relaxing on the sofa in the living room, listening. Suddenly, Thomas heard a strange loud sound coming from the porch (走廊).
“It’s just.. my book fell!” Beth said. But Thomas could tell she was struggling to breathe. It seemed that something was stuck in her throat.
Normally, Thomas’ wheelchair would be right by the sofa, and he could easily roll towards his mother. But earlier that afternoon, while Thomas was asleep, Beth pushed the wheelchair into the yard to let it get some sunshine.
Beth tried to get up for her inhaler put on a shelf inside the room, but she lost her balance and fell onto the floor. When Beth wasn’t able to respond to Thomas’ calling out her name, Thomas realized this was an emergency.
He hurried to take out the phone from his pocket and quickly informed the police of what was happening. Although help was on the way, Thomas knew he couldn’t just sit and wait.
He looked at his mother’s inhaler. It could help save her life, but it was on that shelf seven meters away from him. “I must go there to get it,” he said to himself. Despite knowing his legs probably wouldn’t listen to him, he was determined.
注意:1. 续写词数应150左右;
